They DO NOT send exact components, you see listed. Digital Storm will.

no what I am saying is that your comparison to cyberpower is way off. if you build your own, you can get better components than what cyberpower will include for the same price. have you noticed like on ram it will say "or a major brand". cyberpower uses cheaper components beginning with the power supply. I would recommend cyberpower to somebody that cant or dont want to build their own, but they still have to research what they're gonna get. lots of their motherboards for example are micro, the power supply is a no brand name that may cost 40 for 800w. the ram may not be the corsair that you think you gonna get you may get the "other major brand" and it wont have a heat spreader... semp |

Corsair and Thermaltake's higher end power supplies are all made by Seasonic. The only difference between the two are the color of the paint used on the case and the labels. As far as the quality goes, it is as good as any other high end Seasonic supply.
If you folks cannot make your points without taking cheap shots at each other, then I strongly suggest you bow out of this dicussion.
